This was one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had! It was our first time trying Hotpot, and it will be very hard to top this restaurant, we might have to come back to Verona just for it! The place is beautifully decorated and the tables impressivelly equipped, tissues and bibs are provided; we loved the sauce bar and all the options; ordering was super easy and convenient with the tablet! Our order was brought out wayyy faster than we could’ve imagined! The dishes were beautifully presented and the prices were more than fair. And to top it off, ofcourse everything was delicious! Especially the mushroom broth 10/10!
